A Noot's tabs

The tabs every Noot has, the ones you can add, and how to add or remove them.


Every Noot opens with a strip of tabs. Three of them can never be removed; the rest are a default set you can rearrange — add what the project needs, take off what it doesn't.

The three that can't be removed

TabWhat it's for
OverviewCounters, a status donut and "About this Noot".
BoardThe kanban. Drag cards between and within columns.
MembersWho's on it — teams, their objectives, and any AI teammates.

The rest of the default strip

A new project opens with seven more on top of those three — List, Timeline, Files, Meetings, Calendar, Capacity and Budget. Every one of them can be taken off, and put back later. Which seven you get depends on your industry and on your workspace's own override — see Industries & onboarding.

Tabs you can add

Use the dashed + at the end of the tab strip. The menu only offers what isn't already there — including anything you removed earlier — and once you've added everything it says so.

TabWhat it's for
BacklogThe grooming queue — unstarted, undated work with the three grooming decisions inline.
GanttWhat depends on what: finish-to-start arrows and the longest dependent chain.
StarredJust the work you've starred. It isn't on by default, because starring is already a board sort *and* a board filter.
AutopilotAutopilot's plan, its management cycles and everything it changed.
Automations"When this happens, do that" — this project's own rules, plus the workspace rules that apply to it. See Automations.
KeysAPI keys and credentials for this project, behind a code. See The Keys vault.
RAIDRisks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies, Change requests, Stakeholders.
GoalsThe org goals this project advances, with its real contribution.
DeploymentsReleases, and the commits and pull requests against this project's tasks.

Installed extensions can add tabs too — Canvas, Billing, Field and RFIs all arrive that way, and they come off the strip like any other tab. Hiding an extension's tab does not uninstall the extension, and the + menu can put it back. See What extensions are.

Rearranging the strip

  • Reorder by dragging a tab, or by focusing one and pressing Ctrl (⌘ on a Mac) + ← / →.
  • Remove with the × on the tab. Removal is confirmed, and the dialog says what happens to the data.
  • The order and the removals are saved on the project, so everybody on it sees the same strip.
Shaping the strip is not something every member can do

The strip is how a project is laid out for everyone on it, so adding, removing and reordering is limited to the person who created the Noot, its named leader, the lead of a team on it, a project manager, or an org admin. Everyone else sees the tabs and no controls. This is re-checked on the server, not just hidden.

What removing a tab does to the data

Most tabs are just a different view of the same tasks, so removing one takes nothing away. Five tabs own rows of their own, and for those the confirmation offers a real choice:

TabIf you ask it to remove the data
BudgetDeletes this project's budget and its expenses.
RAIDDeletes this project's RAID entries.
AutomationsDeletes this project's own rules. Workspace-wide rules are untouched.
KeysWipes this project's stored credentials, its code and every live unlock.
GoalsUnlinks the goals rather than deleting them — a goal belongs to the organization and merely points at a project.
Tip

For every other tab — List, Timeline, Gantt, Backlog, Capacity, Files, Calendar, Meetings, Deployments, Starred, Autopilot — removing it takes the tab off and nothing else. Add it back and everything is still there.
